They claim it's typical wear and tear but they don't advertise the house stating wear and tear that will puncture your feet if you try and use the pool.

NEVER Rent from these people.

Disappointing Stay - Would Not Recommend…read more Our experience with this vacation rental, "Live Blissfully," was extremely disappointing and concerning. We arrived at the property around 8:30-9:00 PM on a Friday, only to find that the door code provided did not work. After calling the contact, we were given a new code--which turned out to be the previous guest's code. This was unsettling, as it meant the previous guests still had access to the home during our stay. Upon entering, we were immediately hit with a stale, musty odor reminiscent of an old, poorly maintained property. The house was clearly run down: carpets and some furniture were visibly stained, flooring was scuffed and peeling, baseboards and moldings were chipped, and the overall cleanliness was far below expectations. The home clearly had not been given a proper deep clean in some time. Within minutes of settling in, we found two large cockroaches in the kitchen pantry. Over the course of our stay, we encountered a total of four roaches. This was incredibly unpleasant. When I contacted Rebl Rentals to report the situation, I made it very clear that our guests were terrified to even stay in the home due to the roaches and the overall condition of the property. Despite this, their response was that they would "send someone out in the morning." There was no urgency, no empathy--just a dismissive, delayed response to a serious health and comfort issue. Eventually, Rebl Rentals sent out an exterminator who sprayed chemicals inside the house without any warning, which made us feel unsafe and uncomfortable being in a chemically treated environment. When I raised concerns, I was told the roaches probably got in because we "left a door open"--even though we had just arrived and found one dead on the floor. To top it off, after the technician left, we were greeted with a bottle of Raid and a few bags of chips left on the kitchen counter--as if that was an acceptable solution to a roach infestation. It was honestly insulting. The issues didn't end there. Half the house had no hot water, and the main fridge wasn't cold enough to keep drinks chilled. When a technician came to inspect the fridge, they told us it was "working fine" because there was ice in the freezer. But the freezer wasn't the problem--the refrigerator section was clearly not functioning properly and never reached a safe or usable temperature. The included golf club putter was completely bent and unusable, which felt symbolic of the general neglect throughout the property. Then came the final straw. Two days after we checked out, I received an extra charge on my credit card for "fireplace use"--even though we absolutely did not use the indoor wood-burning fireplace. Rebl Rentals sent a photo of ashes in the fireplace, along with a photo of the very clear "Do Not Use" sign posted above it--proof that we followed the rules. We were still accused and denied any resolution. This charge felt not only retaliatory--coming just after I filed complaints and requested a refund--but also fraudulent. It was 90 degrees in the desert; we had no use for a fireplace, and no way of even getting firewood. I requested pre-inspection photos or video proof of us bringing in wood (which we didn't), and received no reply. After our stay, I looked up reviews for this specific property and discovered that many other guests reported the exact same issues: pest problems, unclean conditions, broken appliances, and suspicious charges after checkout. Clearly, Rebl Rentals and the property owner are aware of these problems and continue to do nothing about them. This stay was unacceptable from start to finish. All I want was some sort of compensation and my money returned from the false fireplace charge. The property is misrepresented, poorly maintained, and the customer service was dismissive, accusatory, and unprofessional. I would strongly advise others to avoid "Live Blissfully."

The property is the Strawberry Cabin - Fire Pit, Fireplace & Pets on VRBO and AirBNB. I fully expect to get trashed for leaving this review as Brenden Hesser attempted to intimidate and he threatened me when I told him I was looking forward to sharing my experience. While this is a cute home, it is not what is advertised and it is not being well maintained. The fireplace never worked correctly and this is you main heat when it's cold (it is a gas fireplace) when the handyman came out to "fix" it, he told me the reason there is no flame is because the glass of the fireplace is filthy on the inside and, unfortunately, there was no way for me to access this to clean it and he did not. The TV didn't work and needed service by the handyman. The cabin is also not remote like the description suggests. The location is nice, it's just not what is in the description. It is a nice sub-division not a remote getaway in the woods. We were also without water for about 2 hours on our second day. The handyman said they have been servicing the water throughout the development all week but no one thought to tell me that prior to booking. The towels also smelled so badly that I had to wash them prior to using them. I plan on reporting this to VRBO and other agencies to hold Hesser accountable and make sure people know what they buy. Realtors in AZ are held to a higher standard. I am thankful Visa protects my purchase. Now I suppose I wait for the promised retaliation.

This was a horrible experience for myself and my family, largely due to Jen, from the property…read moremanagement company. I read the other reviews and noted that everyone commented on how clean the house was, however that was not the case for us. The floor was filthy and had food on the floor behind the table, the dishes were dirty, the blinds in one room were broken so unless you wanted to be up with the sun, the room was unusable. 2 showers leaked water as the molding was broken...Worst of all was the ants all over the kitchen floor and spiders in one bedroom. We could not walk barefoot because of how many there were. Yes, we took pictures of all the issues and sent it to management. They did offer to spray for ants, however there was no non-toxic options and I did not want my family, which includes 3 young children, breathing that in. We just kept killing them. There was no offer to clean the home, fix the broken items or refund the greater than $500.00 cleaning fee, given that we spent hours having to clean the home and rid it of bugs. We even have picture of the bites. All Jen would say was that this would be resolved for the next renter, which does US no good. She also incorrectly stated that we refused to let them fix these issues, which is a lie. Landscapers were there for hours one of the days, the jacuzzi maintenance company was there one of the days. The only refusal was for a toxic ant spray. She was highly unhelpful, borderline rude and arrogant and clearly has no concern for how the renters experience is. The home is a beautiful property, however was not prepared for our arrival at all, despite booking weeks in advance. We were even given the wrong code to enter. The entire experience was stressful and the attitude and response from Jen is what made it that much worse. I will be sure to avoid any property managed by this company in the future.

I think maybe air bnbs in Arizona should require AC? Idk if that's just me. She treated our group like we didn't know how to operate a very simple thermostat. So much that it took her hours of telling us how to use it, that it was too late for a technician to come. It was so hot, we had to be outside. We had 10 people. 1 was pregnant, and 4 more of us were not drinking. She tried to charge $1,000 for a noise complaint that was never made. Which she says that her neighbor took "multiple videos and photos" of our "house party" of girls in the pool with bikinis on! She never sent the actual video that we can listen to. Just a screenshot. But that pretty creepy of the neighbor to take videos of girls in the pool. So maybe don't use the pool if you stay at her house in phoenix. . Besides that, going back to the house being 86 DEGREES and her not caring or being apologetic at all. It was finally fixed 6:30 pm on Saturday, but it probably took until 8pm to cool from 86 degrees to 73. Not once were we rude to her. We could've been under these circumstances. Sorry your ego is fragile and you're unable to take constructive criticism. A woman of your age, I would expect a bit more professionalism and maturity. House is cute tho! Good job decorating! PS. We don't need your money. Your house with no ac just wasn't worth it. But thanks for the feedback. A budget in or hostel would've probably had better service and AC. This isn't "retaliation" for money. Just standing up for my friends and letting everyone know you're a pathological liar when we have every screen shot and video proof of everything.

Ellie is the most unprofessional business owner I have ever come in contact with. The beginning of…read moreour stay was okay, not great, but okay. We arrived in late April to a home in Phoenix Arizona that had no working AC. The issue was brought up to Ellie at around 6pm on a Friday. It wasn't until 6:30pm on SATURDAY that we got AC. She argued back and forth for the first two hours asking us the same question "Did you try adjusting the AC?" We spent 60% of our stay (yes, 60%) with no air conditioning. After asking for some sort of partial refund or even FANS, we were not given either. After spending close to $2000 for a two night stay, we requested a partial refund which was denied immediately. Ellie then starts to send VERY unprofessional messages to our group after we left an HOENST review. She lies to Airbnb stating that we were comfortable in the home and that it "wasn't that hot" Try setting your house to 86° in the middle of the day in Arizona and tell me how comfortable you are Ellie. She then writes a review stating that we had a "large shouting party after hours". She was aware this was a bachelorette party, we were all inside by 9:45pm (Quiet hours is 10pm) and we didn't even fill the max occupancy of the home. After we requested a refund, Ellie decides to request $1000 in damages for being noisy BEFORE QUIET HOURS and lies and states it was after hours. I'm sorry but paying for a home we couldn't use for 60% of our stay Is not okay. I hope you learn some hospitality and customer service skills or this business isn't going to make it very far.

From the get-go, she was not friendly or pleasant at all, but honestly, that wasn't a big deal because I knew we wouldn't be interacting that frequently once the lease was executed. After applying for the property, she spoke with our references and immediately sent us a lease to sign. On that lease, the security deposit was more than what she told us, there was no outline of the utilities breakdown, a weird section calling out my husband's employment. We asked for clarity to which she responded "we will not be responding." And then she never answered a call, email or text again. Completely inappropriate and unprofessional.
